Thanks for everyones feedback. If you want to go to level 1 to godhood in one game, fair enough but what is the point? The great advantage of the PnP version is that, in any campaign apart from a Monty-Hall one, going up levels is a struggle. The gold box games did this with great success, who else remembers battling kobolds and goblins for 2 weeks
. For those who played Curse of Azure Bonds, remember the conflict with Dracondrus in the drow tower? The single drow guard on the stairs who beat the tar out of your whole party? Great fun. Durlag's Tower was the only example i can think of in the current series that was that challenging. I hope for the BG2 expansion they include something that entertaining.
Cheers
